Why the timber sector?

The world's forests are a sustainable source of materials and energy for the needs of humanity.

Timber derived products are some of the most widely used goods in the world. Timber is an excellent material from functional, environmental and aesthetic points of view. It is renewable, can be re-used and re-cycled in certain applications and is biodegradable in others and it is used in different forms in the production of a wide range of products as well as being a source of energy.

Three growing markets: tissue, viscose and fluff

The global markets for tissue paper, viscose and fluff pulp grow between 3 and 4 percent per year.

Megatrends drive pulp and paper demand

The most important ones are technological development, population growth and urbanization, shifts in economic power, and increasing environmental awareness caused by resource stress and climate change. For the pulp and paper industry, these megatrends emerge as both opportunities and challenges.

Our approach

Independent analysis, sector experts and innovative perspective.

Our goal is to provide our clients with an advantage. We offer a powerful combination of experience, analytical talent and customer service to organizations of all sizes.

As a complement to the bottom-up fundamental analysis, we apply our proprietary technology to process satellite images to know the availability of wood in analyzed companies. This unique approach in the sector allows us into a deeper vision of companies.

Forest Engineers with experience in the real field analyze not only financial statements, but also the past, present and future business operations. In addition, our experience in forest certification schemes (FSC and PEFC) allows us to interpret the commitment of companies to sustainable forest management. This is not only about environmental care, but timber companies to be successful must comply with a responsibly managed forest, both environmentally and socially.
